    Question

    The repayment of a loan after 6 years at rate of 24% Simple Interest is Rs.73200. What is the amount borrowed?

    A.

    Rs.42000

    B.

    Rs.30800

    C.

    Rs.45000

    D.

    Rs.30000

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    Total repayment (Principal + Interest) = Rs. 73,200
    Time = 6 years
    Rate of Interest = 24% per annum
    Formula Used:
    Simple Interest (SI) is given by:
    SI=P×R×T100SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}​​
    Total repayment (A) is:
    A = P + SI
    Solution:
    Substitute these values into the formula:
    73,200=P(1+24×6100)73,200 = P \left( 1 + \frac{24 \times 6}{100} \right)​​
    73,200=P(1+144100)73,200 = P \left( 1 + \frac{144}{100} \right)​​
    73,200=P×2.4473,200 = P \times 2.44​​
    P=73,2002.44=30,000P = \frac{73,200}{2.44} = 30,000​​
    Thus, the amount borrowed is Rs. 30,000.
